The day of a great saint's passing away to the world beyond frequently becomes an annual celebration. The second entry in our Festival series presents the tirobhava-mahotsava, or disappearance celebration, of the late Sri Kunjabihari Das Babaji Maharaja of Radha-kunda. Footage from the festival is divided into three parts:

1. Adhivasa-kirtana - A gathering taking place in the evening two days before the festival, an opening to the celebration.
2. Tirobhava-kirtana - A gathering on the morning of the festival day where songs describing the life-story of the saint are sung.
3. Parikrama - Circumambulation of the sacred ponds of Radha-kunda and Shyama-kunda, carrying a picture of the saint on a palanquin.
